Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for the compliment. I think that it would be great if we had more opportunities to discuss motions in French. I will work on that.
This is what I think about why the government is doing these things. I would really like to know why it has made a number of these decisions about harmonization and equalization. I think that it is a real problem. It is a problem because this is a federation. We have to bear in mind the issue of equality and promises made about equal treatment of the provinces, all the while recognizing that there are differences, of course.
However, we have to consider the issue of equality when we are talking about taxes. I have often questioned the government's lack of good faith in decision making. I mentioned employment insurance, credit cards, motions in which the House supported a decision and said that it would support Canadians, face the challenges and help people. The government is supposed to support its citizens. I am not so sure that it does, and in Quebec's case specifically, I have often heard that the government wants all kinds of support from the province. When I see that kind of action and reaction, I have to keep wondering. I do not know.
